e Clothio
EVERY day we hear some
ol our customers remark
that they had no idea
they could be fitted so well
with such well-made and
stylish garments, READY
MADE, as they find on
OUR counters.
The nobby, stylish and
attractive suits that we have
been selling at $15, $iS,
$20, 25, $30 and $35 have
been more EFFECTIVE
advertisements than any
thing we could say in the
papers.
They have been walking
advertisements and GOOD
ONES, too, judging from
the results, as it is a daily
occurrence to have custom
ers call for a suit like Mr.
Smith or Mr. Jones pur
chased here; it was such a
GOOD oneandso CHE P.
The strong points about
our clothing are RELIABLE
goods, HONEST work,
TERFECT fitting and
MODERATE prices. Call
and examine them.

Congress was still off to-dny. Neither

a Senator or Itcprcscntatlvo occu
pied his desk on the lloor
writing letters or rcadlns his mall. In
many of the committee rooms the chair

discussing the work they still had to do.
The only committee In session was

which consists of nil the Itcnubltcan
members of the committee. Those la
borious patriots were engaged In a
catch-as catch-enn wrestle with the
McKlnloy Tariff bill. They are going
over It laboriously, Item by
Item. They will fix It up
as they think best, nnd
then submit It to the full committee,
tho majority will adopt It and re

prepare a bill of their own or

been fully determined upon as yet,

Itcprcwntntlvc Edwin S. Osborne of

which Is composed of the county of
Luzerue alone, is in it state of mind.
He has a bill before Congress to erect a
public building at Wllkesbarre. It has
no apparent prospect of becoming a law
at tuts session. If It falls he declares
that he will not run for Congress again.
It Is to be hoped he will not. Ills
county Is very close, and he carries It
by reason of his personal popularity.
So. If he declines to run, the Democrats
will have a mighty good chance to carry
the district. In the meantime Mr.
Osborne is saying some very truthful
things about the way in wh'Ich ' the

are running matters In the House, more
particularly in the way of "pork" or

CLUB
A FAVORITE FOR THE SUBURBAN.
The Largest Crowd Ever Gathered on a
Traek See It The Racing
Events for Tu.Day.
Ytstciday ws a gala day on the turf.
The New York Jockey Club began Its
sptlng meeting, and by far the largest
crowd over gathered on an American
track witnessed the sport at Morris Park.
Fully 10,000 people saw the sport, and
the racing was of a very high order.
Tcnny won the Handicap at the
Suburban distance In such hollow style
that he will undoubtedly be the favorite
when Hist great race Is run on Juno IT.
He has been backed to win $13,000 In
the winter books, and Dave Ptilslfer
probably has a cinch on the money.
Captain Wagenorand Ktissell had an
Interesting race in the Galllard Stakes,
and ItiiMcll won In the remarkable time
of Hi U 5 second, within 1 of a second
of Geraldlne'a time, which Is the Iwst
on record. Itussell Is one of the best.
If not the best, 3 year old on the turf,
and the Mortis' hold the winner of the
Futurity beyond a doubt.
The programme at Morris Park to day
Is Interesting by reason of the three
stake events on the card. The Debutante
Stakes will see a good lot of 2-year
Allies at the post, ami it looks very
much as If Saule McClelland would do
the trick, with acatlon or lteckou sec
ond. If Tcnny starts la the Toboggaa
Slide Handicap, which means $10,000
to the winner, be oujebt to win. Sena

the ht'rse are likely to give Teaay any

WASHINGTON LOSES TWO MORE
GAMES TO WORCESTER.

The Two Now PiUhers Da Not Setn to
Strengthen the Club.. .An Ex
traordinary Osnie.
Tho Washington Club kept up Its to
boegan playing jenteulay, with the re
mit that it lost both of the Karnes played
to the Worcester team, I'liHHi pitched
an excellent game In the morning, hut
his support was miserable. The Wash
ington made nine errors, distributed
as follows: Gleason, it; ltird, 2: Jordan,
1, and ltlddie, it. Thu.boys made only
four hits, one of which was a home-run
by llltd.
On the other hand Cud worth's men
put up an excellent game, batted well
and made but one fielding error. The
men also ran baes with excellent
Judgment, aud stole ten.
In the afternoon Daniels, the new
pitcher, made his ilebul iu the box, ami,
although he pitched an excellent game,
the 1k s made errors at critical moments
and lost the game. It required eleven
Innings to deckle, and Hums, the
Worcester pitcher, inade the record for
the season by stricklag out eighteen
wen. Worcester won the game on
Kennedy's double, Sult's sacrifice and
errors by Hill ami Daniels. Sullivan's
men out bat ted their opponents, but
their hits w ere scattered awl did not
amount to anvthlng. O'ltrles tlelded
remarkably well in the afternoon game,
accepting eleven out of twelve chance
offered. Gleason also did some good
work.
AN B.TW0HIHSAKY (.AMB.
The afternoon game between the
New Havens and Rallfiuores was one
of the most remarkable of the season.
It requited fourteen innings aad not a
single run was scored by either aide.
Poran and Ilaker were pitted against
each other and the left-hander pitched
a remarkable game. Only two hits were
wade off him, ami those by liay, while
he gave but three baits on bill.
Haker was hit more freely, but he kept
the hits scattered, aad Anally dark new
put aa end lo the game. It was one of
the most remarkable of the season aad
will probably not be equaled oa any
diaiuoad this summer.
TMK wont or the week.
The hoys have succeeded at hut ia
breaklag all past records by failing to
w ia a game during the week Kvea the
ialrodttctioa of new pitching laleut has
not resulted beneficially, although both
men played good games. The wen seem
to have loat their halting ability com
pletily, aad are unable to cosumt with

I hiring the eowlast week the team
will battle with the Hartford aad Bal

reason to believe it will da aay better

pioashlp race is inexplicable. The ohl
reason that the saea were crippled l not
ia order aow, and it has plenty of pitch

If they do not do so won Washington

lowed, as it was, hy the ehampton's
disclaimer of any knowledge of U. Five
hundred dollars was put up oa each

money for the champion, certainly
must have had some authority for
doing so.
Sullivan's actions, to say the least,
are peculiar. If, as he says. Me
Aulftte can be so easily defeated why
don't he meet him aad win the stake
and purse money. K very body knows
that Sullivan has but Utile left of the

well known that I,ord Salisbury's policy
of Inaction In Africa Is not shared by
nil of his ministerial colleagues, and
popular opinion Is slowly veering toward
a demand for a clearer explanation of
the governments reasons for playing
Into Germany's hand than has yet been

Tho Ilerlln 7W professes so see Infalli
ble signs ot the early downfall of Lord
Salisbury's government and declare
that Germany Is now In a position of
absolute Independence of llrilish public
opinion In regard to Africa. In fact
evidence Is not lacking In any direction
to show that Germany does not care n
rap what the llrltlsh think of her Afri
can policy.
A dispatch from Warsaw states that
eighty four German residents were ex
0611111 from that city today In obe
dience to the decree of the Governor.
It Is also stated that nearly one hundred
